[pandorabots-general] A <person>al problem

The problem with the <person> tag is that it can't tell whether it should
switch YOU to I or ME. Currently it always switches YOU to ME.

Example:

<category>
<pattern>I WISH *</pattern>
<template>Oh, you wish <person/>, do you?
</template>
</category>

Suppose the Human inputs "I wish you would type faster." The result is:

Human: I wish you would type faster.
Bot:   Oh, you wish me would type faster, do you?

If you're aiming for a bot who sounds like a real person, this is a dead
giveaway. I assume it would be quite complex to make it work properly,
otherwise it would already have been done.
